[GAME AID] The Last Gasp Assistant
G'day!
I recently picked up Pyramid 3/44, and fell in love with The Last Gasp, but it does of course require a lot more book keeping than regular play. However with the power of technology we can take that burden off the GM and players. I've done so for the Last Gasp, with this web app. https://legendsmith.github.io/techni...GURPS/lastgasp Features include:
I've done a test with my players and they found it easy enough to use. I'd appreciate feedback though. I'm not entirely sure my understanding of the stages of FP recovery are correct, so confirmation of that so I can update the app to reflect it would be great.

Re: [GAME AID] The Last Gasp Assistant
Looks very good! What I would appreciate is a calculator for loss from moving around.

Thank you Anders. And yes, that feature is next on the list.

Re: [GAME AID] The Last Gasp Assistant
Legendsmith:
Fantastic, and thanks. This is pretty cool. A few suggestions: At least on my monitor, the FP bar is very large, and you have to scroll to see it all. You might want to consider a smaller, more compressed bar, and even have a graphical bar next to it showing AP counting from max to zero. Putting a penalties summary in the colored FP bar would also be a nice "it's all in one place" graphical summary. It looks pretty complete, other than superpowers (such as magical or powered AP regeneration). I will definitely be featuring this one on my blog! dhc

Re: [GAME AID] The Last Gasp Assistant
It's great to get recognition, thanks Douglas.
I've only tested this on my machine and the FP bar was ok for me, but of course I need to make it usable for everyone. To that end, I've changed the way the FP bar works so now it should always fit on the screen (auto-resizing) and be onscreen no matter where you're scrolling. It's a lot better this way for everyone. My next priority is finishing the movement calculator, then AP and other stat display bars can come. Last edited by Legendsmith; 11-14-2016 at 01:50 PM. Reason: clarification |

Re: [GAME AID] The Last Gasp Assistant
Did the Action Point spend buttons disappear?

Re: [GAME AID] The Last Gasp Assistant
Douglas, I had removed them since I thought them redundant since you could use the +/- buttons, but I've re added them in a more compact form since obviously they were useful.
Now that this is 'released' I'm going to make a development branch of the app so I don't spring any surprises like that on anyone, but I can still keep my code backed up.

Re: [GAME AID] The Last Gasp Assistant Huge Update
G'day, I've just pushed another update to the Last Gasp assistant. At this point I consider it essentially complete for the purposes of desktop development.
I would like to make it work better on mobile devices but progress on that will be very slow as I do not posses a smart-phone . The updates are as follows, and include some highly significant features!
Android users follow a similar procedure, except select "Add to Home Screen" My next project will be a more complete web app that integrates The Last Gasp Assistant with a variety of other utilities such as wound tracking using advanced wounding rules, skill rolling, and attack rolls, as well as various other features in order to provide a complete utility for GMs wishing to subject their players to the terrifying realism GURPS can offer.
